You must also have a contact currently also connected to your supported provider.

How to Use

Open a TextEditor on a text resource from your workspace (e.g. a .java file, or .txt file).

Open the Context Menu (right click) on the text editor, and you should see a context menu like this

Select the target user to share your editor session with. Note that if you select a target user that is not running ECF client, it will have no effect and the target user will not see a notification. In the near future (ECF 2.0.1), only the users that support/are running docshare will appear in this list, but for now all contacts will appear.

Once the receiver accepts the docshare, both participants may edit the document via their local editor and the changes will be immediately distributed to the other participant via ECF.
